The Holy Innocents
Dear Family of Mary!
“Dear children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (December 24, 2016)
This message is full of hope! Our Lady speaks with strength and joy. She is on a mission to reveal to us the plans of heaven. We are blindly unaware of what God is doing in our day. And so her words are meant to arouse us and help us to understand.
“With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace.”
There is no peace without Jesus. Peace cannot be realized through any human initiative that is separate from Jesus. But with Jesus, peace exists. Jesus is peace. Jesus is peace! How many pilgrims in Medjugorje have shared that they had only anxiety, bitterness, restlessness, disappointment in their lives when they first came to Medjugorje. But during their pilgrimage they were overwhelmed with the love of Jesus and Mary, and they were reconciled with Jesus in Confession and found peace? Jesus is peace.
Peace has nothing to do with external events and everything to do with reconciliation with God. When our hearts are reunited with God, we have peace. We live with a purpose. We have eyes to see our hope. We have eyes set on heaven and eternity.
“Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it.”
No matter where we are today, no matter what our circumstances are, we can open our hearts. We can pray. We can confess. We can be reconciled with God. We can receive Jesus. The Church is wherever we are, and the confessional is not far away. Jesus waits for us there, to come into our hearts through the hands of the priest. He waits for us there, to forgive us, to heal us, to restore us to His love, and to give us the peace that only comes from Him.
“Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world…”
What a jolt of hope these words bring us. Heaven is fighting for us!!! Heaven is on our side, actively standing against our enemy, guarding us and protecting us from his lies and his assaults. Heaven is on the offense, driving the enemy away from us so that we can receive Jesus and His peace.
I believe on this incredibly sorrowful feast day, the Holy Innocents, we should realize that the children/martyrs are part of that heavenly army that is fighting for us today. They are very powerful intercessors, because of their purity and their sacrifice. And I believe that today their number has grown to millions upon millions, due to abortion. And each of those little martyrs is now fighting to defeat the enemy of man. They are fighting for us that we will have peace in our hearts.

“I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity.”
Let us not lose hope. Now is not the time to cower. With such an army fighting with us, and with our gaze always upon heaven, we will be victorious.
“In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans.”
With the peace of Jesus in our hearts, our eyes on heaven, and the heavenly host fighting with us, we will help Our Lady to realize God’s plans! Plans for our welfare and not for woe. Plans for salvation.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Medjugorje Annual Messages

 

Our Lady’s Annual Apparition and Message to Jakov Colo

Medjugorje Dec. 26, 2016 A.D.

Sign-up for mejList, the FREE Medjugorje Newsletter

 

December 26, 2016 A.D.

Medjugorje visionary Jakov Colo was in the United States in September of 1998. During this time, Our Lady told Jakov that he was to prepare in prayer, for he was to receive the 10th secret and would have his last daily apparition. Jakov prepared with Confession and Mass, and during the apparition of Our Lady to Jakov on September 12, 1998, Our Lady said that She would no longer appear to him every day, but instead She would appear to him every December 25th, Christmas Day. Yesterday, December 25, 2016, Our Lady appeared to Jakov around 2:20 pm and the apparition lasted 10 minutes. After the apparition, Jakov relayed Our Lady’s message:

English

“Dear children! Today, on this day of grace, in a special way, I am calling you to pray for peace. Children, I came here as the Queen of Peace and how many times have I called you to pray for peace. But, children, your hearts are restless. Sin is preventing you from opening yourselves completely to grace and peace which God desires to give you. To live peace, my children, is to first have peace in your hearts and to be surrendered completely to God and to His will. Do not seek peace and joy in the things of this world, because this is all passing. Long for true mercy and peace which come only from God; and only in this way will your hearts be filled with true joy; and only in this way will you be able to become witnesses of peace in this peaceless world. I am your mother and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Hrvatski

„Draga djeco! Danas na ovaj milosni dan na poseban način vas pozivam da molite za mir. Djeco, ja sam ovdje došla kao Kraljica mira i toliko puta sam vas pozivala da molite za mir. Ali, djeco, vaša srca su nemirna. Grijeh vas sprječava da se u potpunosti otvorite prema milosti i miru koji vam Bog želi darovati. Da biste živjeti mir, djeco moja, trebate imati najprije mir u vašim srcima i biti predani u potpunosti Bogu i Njegovoj volji. Ne tražite mir i radost u ovozemaljskim stvarima, jer to je sve prolazno. Težite prema istinskom milosrđu i miru koji dolazi samo od Boga i samo tako će vaša srca biti ispunjena istinskom radošću i samo na taj način ćete moći postati svjedoci mira u ovom nemirnom svijetu. Ja sam vaša majka i zagovaram pred svojim Sinom za svakoga od vas. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.”

Italiano

“Cari figli! Oggi in questo giorno di grazia in modo particolare vi invito a pregare per la pace. Figli, Io sono venuta qui come Regina della Pace e quante volte vi ho invitato a pregare per la pace. Ma figli, i vostri cuori sono inquieti. Il peccato vi impedisce di aprirvi completamente alla grazia e alla pace che Dio desidera donarvi. Per vivere la pace, figli miei, dovete avere innanzitutto la pace nei vostri cuori ed essere abbandonati completamente a Dio e alla Sua volontà. Non cercate la pace e la gioia nelle cose di questa terra perché tutto questo è passeggero. Tendete verso la misericordia veritiera, verso la pace che viene solo da Dio e soltanto così i vostri cuori saranno ricolmi della gioia veritiera; soltanto in questo modo potrete diventare i testimoni della pace in questo mondo inquieto. Io sono vostra madre e intercedo presso mio Figlio per ciascuno di voi. Grazie per aver risposto alla mia chiamata.”

Francais

«Chers enfants ! Aujourd’hui, en ce jour de grâce, je vous invite de manière particulière à prier pour la paix. Enfants, je suis venue ici comme Reine de la paix, et combien de fois vous ai-je invités à prier pour la paix ! Mais, enfants, vos coeurs sont inquiets. Le péché vous empêche de vous ouvrir complètement à la grâce et à la paix que Dieu désire vous donner. Pour vivre la paix, mes enfants, vous devez avant tout avoir la paix dans vos coeurs et être entièrement abandonnés à Dieu et à sa volonté. Ne recherchez pas la paix et la joie dans les choses de cette terre, car tout cela est passager. Tendez à la miséricorde et à la paix véritable qui vient de Dieu seul; seulement ainsi vos coeurs seront-ils comblés de la vraie joie, et seulement ainsi pourrez-vous devenir témoins de la paix en ce monde sans paix. Je suis votre Mère et j’intercède auprès de mon Fils pour chacun de vous. Merci d’avoir répondu à mon appel.»

Deutsch

„Liebe Kinder! Heute, an diesem Gnadentag, lade ich euch auf besondere Weise ein, für den Frieden zu beten. Kinder, ich bin als Königin des Friedens hierhergekommen und habe euch so viele Male aufgerufen, für den Frieden zu beten. Aber, Kinder, eure Herzen sind friedlos. Die Sünde hindert euch, dass ihr euch in Vollkommenheit für die Gnade und den Frieden, den Gott euch schenken möchte, öffnet. Um den Frieden zu leben, meine Kinder, müsst ihr zuerst den Frieden in euren Herzen haben und in Vollkommenheit Gott und Seinem Willen hingegeben sein. Sucht nicht den Frieden und das Glück in irdischen Dingen, denn dies ist alles vergänglich. Sehnt euch nach der wahrhaftigen Barmherzigkeit und dem Frieden, der nur von Gott kommt, und nur so werden eure Herzen mit wahrer Freude erfüllt sein und nur auf diese Weise könnt ihr zu Zeugen des Friedens in dieser friedlosen Welt werden. Ich bin eure Mutter und halte Fürsprache vor meinem Sohn für jeden von euch. Danke, dass ihr meinem Ruf gefolgt seid!”

Dear Family of Mary!
 
Here is the December 25, 2016 Message through Marija:
 

“Dear children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Christmas Eve
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
On the eve of the great feast of Christmas, as we await the birth of our Savior, may we all take time in silence to welcome Him into our hearts.
 
I have gathered a few Christmas messages from Our Lady over the years. They are beautiful. May we open our hearts to Our Lady’s words, given to us out of love and by the Father’s design.
 
We at Mary TV pray that you will all be wrapped in Our Lady’s mantle of love this night and that the Blessed Infant will gaze upon you in wonder and joy. He comes to save us from our sins. We are filled with joy!

December 25, 1988 “Dear children! I call you to peace. Live it in your heart and all around you, so that all will know peace, peace that does not come from you but from God. Little children, today is a great day. Rejoice with me. Glorify the Nativity of Jesus through the peace that I give you. It is for this peace that I have come as your Mother, Queen of Peace. Today I give you my special blessing. Bring it to all creation, so that all creation will know peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


December 25, 1992 “Dear children! I desire to place all of you under my mantle and protect you from all satanic attacks. Today is a day of peace, but in the whole world there is a great lack of peace. That is why I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer. This I cannot do without you, and this is why I call all of you with my motherly love and God will do the rest. So, open yourselves to God’s plan and to His designs to be able to cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good. Do not forget that your life does not belong to you, but is a gift with which you must bring joy to others and lead them to eternal life. May the tenderness of the little Jesus always accompany you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


December 25, 1994 “Dear children! Today I rejoice with you and I am praying with you for peace: peace in your hearts, peace in your families, peace in your desires, peace in the whole world. May the King of Peace bless you today and give your peace. I bless you and I carry each one of your in my heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


December 25, 1999 “Dear children! This is the time of grace. Little children, today in a special way with little Jesus, whom I hold in my embrace, I am giving you the possibility to decide for peace. Through your ‘yes’ for peace and your decision for God, a new possibility for peace is opened. Only in this way, little children, this century will be for you a time of peace and well-being. Therefore, put little newborn Jesus in the first place in your life and He will lead you on the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


December 25, 2012 Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms and she did not give a message, but little Jesus began to speak and said: “I am your peace, live my commandments.” With a sign of the cross, Our Lady and little Jesus blessed us together.

 

December 25, 2013 “Dear children! I am carrying to you the King of Peace that He may give you His peace. You, little children, pray, pray, pray. The fruit of prayer will be seen on the faces of the people who have decided for God and His Kingdom. I, with my Son Jesus, bless you all with a blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 
We will send out the Christmas Message as soon as we can on Christmas Day!!
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Christmas Novena Day Nine
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
This is the ninth day of our Novena before Christmas! Again today the parish will climb Apparition Hill, praying the Rosary. We will join them live, through Mary TV!
 
We have made it to the ninth day!! I believe that the great gift we are being given in the novena is the gift of deep peace. Our surrender to Jesus, through Mary, will produce an unending source of peace for each one of us. Isn’t this the message of Christmas! Jesus, the Lord, is born to us, a Savior. He comes to free us from our sins and lead us into the Kingdom of His Father. We have only to follow Him. May we learn to surrender, moment by moment, to our Infant Savior, and we will experience the peace of God.

December 25, 1998

(Jakov) 

“Dear children! Today, on the birthday of my Son, my heart is filled with immeasurable joy, love and peace. As your mother, I desire for each of you to feel that same joy, peace and love in the heart. That is why do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus, because only in this way can He enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and joy. I bless you with my motherly blessing.”


Novena of Surrender to the Will of God, Day Nine
(Jesus speaks to Fr. Ruotolo)
 
Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it.” Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: “O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!”
 
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
 
Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.
 
Let us pray 7 Our Fathers, 7 Hail Marys and 7 Glory bes…
 
Lord Jesus, through the Intercession of Your Mother, Mary, we want pray always in readiness to surrender ourselves to You, as You ask, saying “Jesus, you take care of it”. May we learn to surrender our entire selves to You, just as Our Lady did her entire life. In that way may we give you glory and honor all our days, and especially at this celebration of your Incarnation and Nativity. We are all yours through the guidance and intercession of our Mother, Mary! Amen.
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Christmas Novena Day Eight
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
This is the eighth day of our Novena before Christmas! Again today the parish will climb Apparition Hill, praying the Rosary. We will join them live, through Mary TV!
 
In this message, Our Lady calls us to give Jesus the gift of our lives on Christmas Day. She will accept our surrender, and then offer us to Jesus, her Infant Son! This is exactly what we have been hoping for in this novena, to give ourselves to Jesus in complete and trusting surrender. She tells us the Jesus loves us and give us the grace to “live in His mercy”. Living in Jesus’ mercy means that we entrust ourselves so much to Him, that He can cover us with mercy every moment of our day. To live Jesus’ mercy is to experience our salvation, moment by moment, given to us by our Savior in actual terms in our real, concrete lives. This is a miracle of mercy! And Jesus shows us the way, through His words to Fr. Dolindo, when He says “I promise you by my love that if you say ‘You take care of it,’ I will take care of it all.” Let us live in Jesus’ mercy!
 
December 25, 2012 (Jakov)
“Dear children, give the gift of your life to me and completely surrender to me so that I may help you to comprehend my motherly love and the love of my Son for you. My children, I love you immeasurably and today, in a special way, on the day of the birth of my Son, I desire to receive each of you into my heart and to give a gift of your lives to my Son. My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘no’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation.”
 
Novena of Surrender to the Will of God, Day Eight
(Jesus speaks to Fr. Ruotolo)
 
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it.” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
 
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
